Inspired by Notes from the Universe and in defiance of all the scary and depressing stuff that's going on around us, cynical optimists collects inspiring quotes (not the cheesy, ultra-spiritual kind), beautiful images, interesting articles and other random bits of happiness and positivity, and delivers them straight to your inbox.

Does that sound like you?

Cynical optimist: someone who is aware of what's going on around them, but chooses to remain optimistic and find happiness wherever it can be found; someone who's open to all the woo-woo positive stuff, as potential routes to happiness, but maintains a healthy level of cynicism (and a sense of humour) for balance; someone who insists on being happy and on spreading happiness to those around them.
